2025
Briacacio Vaccino is a unique blue-veined cow's milk cheese, matured in a special bath made with a secret alcoholic recipe and raisins, a technique inspired by the famous Tuscan dessert Panbriacone. This cheese features a compact yet moist texture, enhanced by the alcohol-soaked raisins that infuse it with a distinct sweetness.
The flavors are a mix of medium sweetness, alcohol, and a slight acidity, creating a strikingly balanced and persistent taste. Its aroma blends fruity, alcoholic notes with earthy undertones, hinting at mushrooms and underbrush. Briacacio Vaccino pairs wonderfully with sweet dessert wines, making it a perfect choice for meditation or an indulgent end-of-meal experience.
